Thanks so much for he reply Nancy. It has been a difficult weekend! This guy has had back surgery, shoulder surgery, broken shoulder and open heart surgery---and never needed pain medication after he came home!!!!!!!!!!! So, for him to be hurting this badly is unusual for sure. Saturday I called the doc on call but with us being new in their system and not even staring treatment, he did not offer any help--just said if it hurts that badly to go to the ER--which we did. Jerry said he slept better than usual last night (YEA) but when he rolled over to get up the pain kicked back in. I will wait for a while to see if he wants me to call or just wait until tomorrow. Supposedly, we will see the doc before his first infusion. This is going to be a difficult process--on my part because I don't have confidence in this doc or the practice--but is where Jerry wants to be since it is close to home rather than driving to Dallas for the best doc!

@texastribble Maybe some gentle massage would help, if he is up for it? If it is muscle spasms, manipulating the area with "soft hands" will bring some blood flow and release the tension. A warm heating pad might feel pretty good, also!
